Description
The Novawinch HEN10000 is a premium, fully EN-compliant 10,000 lb (4,536 kg) hydraulic winch engineered specifically for the UK’s commercial vehicle recovery and heavy industrial sectors. Designed to meet strict European safety mandates, this high-performance unit combines a dependable multi-disc braking system with full IP67 weather sealing. It is the go-to choice for operators who refuse to compromise on legal compliance or pulling power.
Certified Heavy-Duty Power for Fleet & Recovery Operators
Built to withstand punishing daily duty cycles, the HEN10000 delivers a formidable first-layer pulling capacity of 4,536 kg (10,000 lbs). Operating at a working pressure of 14 MPa (2,030 psi) with an efficient 16.9:1 gear ratio, it achieves a swift line speed of 6.5 metres per minute when supplied with an oil flow of 55 L/min.
This versatile industrial winch is purpose-built for seamless integration onto:
-
Commercial breakdown recovery vehicles & tilt-and-slide flatbeds
-
Fire and rescue appliances
-
Heavy-duty agricultural machinery & tractors
-
Industrial transport trailers
Advanced Safety & Rugged British-Weather Engineering
Operational safety is paramount on commercial sites. The HEN10000 features an intelligent hydraulic directional control valve paired with a heavy-duty multi-disc automatic brake—rigorously tested to 125% of its rated capacity for ultimate load holding security.
To ensure uninterrupted performance in harsh, muddy, and wet environments, the winch features comprehensive IP67-rated ingress protection. Its robust internal components are housed in an ultra-durable chassis, utilizing a forged aluminium motor mount, hardened planetary steel gears, and high-tensile carbon steel tie bars.
Rope Management & Layered Performance Breakdown
The HEN10000 drum is optimized for a 10.3mm (13/32″) steel wire rope, offering a total storage capacity of 30 metres (98.4 ft) across four layers. For rapid rope deployment, the unit is fitted with an ergonomic manual clutch.
Line Pull Efficiency: Please note that mechanical advantage changes as the wire rope spools onto the drum. For example, by the 4th layer, the winch provides a pulling force of 6,188 lbs at an accelerated line speed of 34.5 fpm. (For the complete layer-by-layer breakdown, please consult our technical specifications matrix below).
